• Yesterday's game: Beat Tampa Bay 6-3. Jeff Keppinger had three hits and Adam Dunn hit a home run. David Ross scored the go-ahead run on a perfectly executed suicide squeeze by Jerry Hairston Jr.

• Today's game: vs. Tampa Bay, 1:05 p.m., Sarasota. Johnny Cueto will start. He is coming off his first poor outing of the spring, when he walked five batters and failed to finish the first inning against the Rays.

• Keep an eye on: The Reds announced plans to release reliever Mike Stanton, meaning they likely will have to eat the $3.5 million he is owed this season. It opens the door for Dublin native Kent Mercker to make the club. In less expensive moves, reliever Bill Bray was optioned to triple-A, infielder Andy Phillips was reassigned to minor-league camp and Rule 5 pitcher Jose Capellan was returned to the Boston Red Sox, his original organization.
